I am from Canada, married to a Swede . What I really enjoy getting from Sweden are either Kosta Boda glass, hand-blown glass figurines or those very charming Dalah horses.

I really enjoy reading your blog.

Hej Anna! Currently I am here in Gävle, visiting my husband’s family. I think delicious Swedish Kaffe like Gevalia would be a nice gift. Maybe Ahlgrens Bilar or Läckerol. If they like fish, Fiskbullar or Kalles. Mazarin, Kanelbullar, okay, it’s soon time for middag for me, can you tell?

I’m happy to hear Ceci made it to Lycksele!

Hej dä! Linda

I’d say it depends on the occasion.

A julmust bottle on Christmas would be perfect, for example. But I guess I’d love the typical souvenirs colored in yellow and blue (like the swedish flag), or those ornaments that are basically a crystal ball with a winter landscape inside: a wooden house with a snow man at the entrance and the snow falling, you know, like in the little villages of northern Sweden. That present would be definitely thrilling.

Oh, but Anna, you can always give a surströmming can as a gift!! Isn’t that quite representative of Sweden? LOL!!!

Here is an idea for a gift: a handcrafted felted woolen tomte, or anything from hemsljöden. I also think traditional recipes such as almond cake (with the special form to bake it) would be very nice. Swedish linen is also very special. My greatest dilemma (similar to yours) was: what would Swedes appreciate as a gift from America?
